84855 - Saved files go to TEMP dir when not handled by helper

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 85115

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[ryland]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    2001060703

When I click on a link to a file with a MIME type whose default action is Save
to Disk, it always saves the file in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ instead of in the last
directory I saved something else in. When I right-click and choose Save Link
as... it works correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the default action for some MIME type to Save to Disk (in my case, I have
video/mpeg set to Save to Disk instead of being handled by a plugin or helper app)
2. Click on a link that goes to that type of file.
3. When the "Downloading xxxxx.xxx" dialog comes up, click OK.
4. When the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog comes up, select a
directory (I almost always use C:\DOWNLOAD) and click OK.

Actual Results:  File is saved to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ with a (presumably) random
file name with the same extension as the source file.

Expected Results:  Saved in C:\DOWNLOAD\ with the correct filename.

What you describe will happen.  When the download completes, however, the file
should be moved to the location you specify.  Is that not happening?

Comment 4

[ryland]

Nope, it isn't.

Comment 5

[Bill Law]

OK.  Are you running out of space on the disk, by any chance?

Tom, can you reproduce this?  We need to figure out what's causing the problem.
 It definitely works most (almost all) of the time.

Not even close :) I have about 10 gigs left on a 20 gig drive.

This also happens completely reliably on my Windows 98 computer at home. I've
got nearly 300 MB free. On my Windows 2000 computer at work, the files are just
as reliably moved from the temporary directory to their final destination.

The other major difference between these two computers is that the Win 98
computer  also has Netscape 4.7x, but the Windows 2000 computer never had any
version of Netscape. Strangely enough, I also use the directory C:\Download on
my Win 98 computer, but trying to save to a different directory doesn't solve
the problem.

There's one more difference I notice between my two systems. On my Windows 2000
computer that always copies the downloaded files to the correct place, the
correct final destination is displayed in the To: field of the Saving File
dialog box. On my Windows 98 computer that never copies downloaded files to the
correct place, the temporary directory and filename is displayed in the To:
field. It seems that Mozilla gets confused at the beginning of the download,
rather than at the end.

This can be fixed by creating a new profile.

-> XP apps,

VERIFIED: removed dupeme.
I really hate this bug. If you create a new profile and it fixes the problem, 
can you save the old profile as well as post the localstore.rdf file here?
